Leslie Scher, O.D.

Optometrist

Dr. Leslie Scher joined Coral Gables Eye Care with a specialized interest in providing contact lens care, myopia control for pediatric patients, vision therapy, and comprehensive vision services for individuals with special needs.

Dr. Scher became interested in the eye care profession through her college volunteer experience with the Lions’ Club and the Opening Eyes program of the Special Olympics.

She received her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Florida State University and her Doctorate from the State University of New York College of Optometry (SUNY). Her clinical rotations have included an emphasis on ocular disease, pre- and post-op cataract care, pediatric eye disorders, and vision therapy for traumatic brain injuries, such as stroke and concussion.

Dr. Scher is from Miami, Florida, and immigrated to the United States at age two from Cuba. She is proficient in Spanish and enjoys world travel, calling Spain one of her favorite places to visit for the best tapas and sangria. When she is not at Coral Gables Eye Care, you can find her walking her black Labrador Beau, participating in a yoga or barre class, reading, or baking her awesome banana bread.
